The  National  Drawing  Copies 


FOR    USE    IN 


PRIMARY     GRADES 


DO  NOT  ROLL  THIS  BOOK. 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  TEACHERS. 


These  copies  are  intended  to  be  used  in  connection  with  the  Cross 
Transparent  Drawing  Slate,  but  the  drawings  will  serve  equally  well  as 
copies  when  paper  is  used  instead  of  the  slate.  The  copies  may  be  used 
by  all  young  pupils,  but  are  intended  for  public  school  use.  The  drawing 
lessons  in  the  public  schools  should  be  given  as  specified  in  the  Primary 
Outline  of  Lessons  for  the  National  Drawing  Course. 

The  copies  include  lines,  geometric  forms,  historic  ornament,  and 
representations  of  the  real  shapes  of  simple  objects  ;  they  provide  all 
the  copies  required  for  the  first  three  school  years. 

To  use  the  copies,  open  the  book  at  the  desired  figure  and  fold  the 
two  parts  back  together  so  that  only  the  page  containing  this  figure  can 
be  seen  ;  then  place  the  book  upon  the  easel.  The  easel  should  be 
placed  at  the  back  of  the  desk  so  that  the  surface  of  the  book  is  at 
right  angles  to  the  direction  in  which  the  pupil  looks  upon  it. 

figure  to  be  drawn  should  first  be  lightly  sketched  with  the  Cross 
pencil  upon  the  slate  when  the  flap  is  behind  it,  causing  it  to  appear  like  a 
sheet  of  white  paper  ;  or  lead  pencil  and  paper  may  be  used. 

The   work   should  be   entirely  freehand    and    done   without   taking 
measurements  or  applying  tests,  and  it   should   be  changed 
without  testing  until  it  seems  correct  to  the  eye.    The  drawing 
should  then  be  tested  by  folding  back  the  flap  of  the  slate 
and  holding  the  slate  in  front  of  the  copy  so  that  the  lines 


of  the  drawing  appear  to  cover  those  of  the  copy.  If  the  drawing  is  correct 
and  not  too  large  or  too  small  the  slate  may  be  held  so  that  the  lines  of 
the  drawing  appear  to  coincide  with  those  of  the  copy.  If  the  drawing  is 
not  correct,  only  part  of  its  lines  can  be  made  at  any  one  time  to  appear  to 
cover  those  of  the  object ;  the  pupil  will  thus  discover  at  once  the  differ- 
ence between  his  drawing  and  the  copy. 

The  corrections  required  to  make  the  drawing  exactly  cover  the 
copy  are  to  be  made  by  drawing  new  lines,  the  flap  being  behind  the 
slate  as  it  was  when  the  drawing  was  begun.  When  the  correct  lines 
have  been  determined  the  others  are  to  be  erased. 

At  first  the  drawings  should  be  as  nearly  as  possible  the  full  size 
of  the  copies,  for  it  is  easier  to  test  these  drawings  than  those  which 
are  smaller  or  larger  than  the  copies. 

After  a  little  practice  upon  full-size  drawings  the  pupils  will  be  able 
to  test  drawings  which  are  smaller  than  the  copies  by  holding  the 
slate  nearer  the  eye  than  is  the  book. 

In  some  cases  drawings  larger  than  the  copies  may  be  tested  by 
holding  the  slate  so  that  the  drawings  are  concentric  with  the  copies, 
but  generally  the  drawing  should  not  be  larger  than  the  copy. 
This  book  should  not  be  removed  from  the  easel  while 
drawings  upon  the  slate  are  tested.  Tracing  the  copies 
should  not  be  allowed.
